Cocoa came to the shelter because his previous owners discovered they were allergic, but their loss could be your gain. This little guy is as sweet as they come! He absolutely loves treats like lettuce and carrots – when it’s snack time, you can hear his delighted squeals of excitement echoing through the shelter.
Due to a cornea scratch, Cocoa is blind in one eye, but this resilient boy doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. He’s just as playful, curious and full of life as any other guinea pig.
